Paint easel and display rack assembly

Abstract

An adjustable paint easel and display rack assembly includes a base having first and second legs extending upwardly therefrom. First and second risers are slidably connected to the first and second legs for adjusting the height of the assembly. Extensions may be pivotally attached to upper ends of the risers and movable between folded and extended positions to further adjust the height of the assembly. An arm is attached to the risers or extensions and has a canvas board platform pivotally and rotatably attached thereto, enabling the height and angle of the canvas board platform to be adjusted. The assembly may include pivoting table leaves, and model attachment plates as well.
